Title: New Driver Licences continue to be issued
Post by: watty on July 11, 2023, 07:13:05 pm
from NTA's sPSV Bulletin 2022 (June 2023) (https://www.nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/SPSV-Bulletin-2022-Final-Web.pdf) (pdf)

If there's ~25,000 driver licences already and another ~1,000 issued each year, that's a 4% increase per year?  FN etc don't need to be worried about new drivers, there's plenty coming in.

Let's just hope it stays busy.It's impossible to take those licences back after they've been issued.

Hopefully more and more people will give up their cars and Dublin Bus remains shoite so people will need taxis.  Or bicycles but good luck with that in rainy Ireland!

Until the poor desperate fuckers realize the cost or Renting a Vehicle and insurance and the Free Now Ransome Earn a Grand for 80 hours pocket less than 300 .Why are they not learning to drive busses 800 for 39 hours .

They won't see that 800 for a couple of years John but they could be getting paid to get a bus licence.

Mostly immigrants. I guess it beats what they could earn where they come from.
